Jack Stands Placement Under W204

Hi,
I made a search and I didn't find the answer:

I purchased one Reverse Logic adapter and two Reverse Logic jack stands. The question is how do I use the jack stands? If I lift the car with my car jack from a side, I am using the "spot" where the jack stand is supposed to be and I can only change one wheel at a time.

If I want to change two wheels at a time, what do I do? I noticed there is some kind of bump underneath the front of the car. Do I lift from there the whole car and place the two jack stands on the two rectangle around the middle-front section of the car and remove the car jack afterwards? Also I don't need any adapter to lift from the front?

Thanks for the help. This is a pic of my car jack I purchased:

I bought 2 jacks & welded a steel block to them which fitted the cars jacking points. Please see attachment.

The real problem is that your little jack doesn't have enough lift. I too purchased a reverse logic adapter (really, too pretty to use) and I can lift both wheels on one side off the ground.

You can also lift the rear by placing the jack under the differential.
